    Rescue Diver First Aid Kit

    A item I've started to carry with me in my dive bag is celox (Chitosan - or one of the hemostatic agents). These packets are expensive, but worth it when you talk about trying to stop major blood loss from arterial wounds.

    San Diego/wreck alley diving

    The other factor to visit is probably visibility. Late summer, fall, and winter tend to have the best visibility in SoCal - spring and early summer can bring blooms and very green water. You can have great or poor visibility any time of year, but that seems to be the trend. Most folks only do...

    Fin keepers to attach to BC?

    I added a 1" stainless steel split ring on to each of my spring straps. Then I use a double ended bolt snap - clip through the split rings on one end, BC D-ring attach with the other end. No entanglement hazard, pretty easy to use, and the parts are useful for other things. More info here: OMS...

    New Gear for the BIG 50.

    "handing an AIR2 or Atomic SS1 to a terrified buddy may result in a disaster" Definitely, If I'm understanding your question. The regs-on-inflator setups are for *you* to use while donating the reg in your mouth to the other diver. The inflator regs are barely long enough to get in your own...

    Steel Vs. Titanium

    That scubapro cutter looks a lot like the OMS Ticut (Cutting Tools - Dive Knives & Line Cutters http://www.OMSdive.com), which I own and love. It cuts through fishing line/net with no effort, fits in the hand well (at least with 3mm and 5mm gloves) and I don't need to rinse the tool. One thing...

    Dx-1g?

    I've been pretty happy with my DX-1G. I posted my thoughts about it a while back: chris nelson dot ca Since then I've picked up a strobe and am trying to get better at using it. I've found there is a pretty steep learning curve in terms of experimentation on my part with the strobe, but I think...

    Flying to San Diego in 2 weeks, any diving suggestions?

    La Jolla is definitely a good place to start out. Visibility in the top 20 feet is quite bad right now (less than 5 at times), but the cold water is bringing 15-25 visibility when deeper than 40 feet a lot of the time. The water is pretty green this time of year so you will want to bring a...
